give us some LOVE...help us win some grant money!

Intuit is awarding $100,000 in hiring grants for businesses you love.  Your votes help determine which three local businesses win!  Anyone can vote by sharing a brief comment about why they love the particular business.  You can vote for Beatrixbell Handcrafted Jewelry by clicking the image below or clicking here.



As many of you know, my business has grown tremendously over the last year.  I am currently handling all the facets of my business by myself.  I design all the jewelry and I physically make all the jewlery. That itself is already a ton of work.  However I'm also the book keeper, graphic designer, photographer, web master, marketing coordinator, customer service representative, sales representative, supply buyer, misc office administrator, chauffeur and custodian.  It is a lot of work, and I'm finding that there just aren't enough hours in the day anymore for me to continue growing!  So I would really appreciate your vote. 

I would love to train an employee in hopes of giving them a long term job with flexible hours and fair pay.  I think they would also enjoy learning lots of cool stuff!

  1. Even if you don't win, you should still hire an employee!
